THINK OF HIS GOODNESS S TO YOU 1. When waves of affliction sweep over the soul, And sunlight is hidden from view, If ever you re tempted to fret or complain, Just think of His goodness to you. Chorus Just think of His goodness to you; Yes, think of His goodness to you; Tho storms o er thee sweep, He is able to keep; O think of His goodness to you. 2. The world may forsake you, and those whom you trust May prove to be false and untrue; There s One you can trust even unto the end; Just think of His goodness to you. 3. Misfortune s dark cloud may hang over the way, Despite your best efforts to do; The Savior is guarding your treasures up there; Just think of His goodness to you. 4. When dear ones are taken away from you here, You loved with affection so true, Look unto the Savior for strength to endure, And think of His goodness to you. 6
